Clinical Decision Support Systems Market Size, Share & Trends
The size of global clinical decision support systems market in terms of revenue was estimated to be worth $1.7 billion in 2023 and is poised to reach $2.5 billion by 2028, growing at a CAGR of 7.5% from 2023 to 2028. The comprehensive research encompasses an exhaustive examination of industry trends, meticulous pricing analysis, patent scrutiny, insights derived from conferences and webinars, identification of key stakeholders, and a nuanced understanding of market purchasing dynamics.
According to The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), as of 2021, in the US approximately 96 percent of non-federal acute care hospitals and nearly 4 in 5 office-based physicians (78%) have implemented a certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. This marks significant 10-year progress since 2011 when 28% of hospitals and 34% of physicians had adopted an EHR.Additionally factors such as rising adoption of CDSS-enabled EHRs and increasing collaborations and partnerships between stakeholders and several market players. However, requirement of high investments for the implementation of CDSS infrastructure and shortage of skilled IT professionals in the healthcare industry are expected to challenge market growth to a certain extent.

Clinical Decision Support Systems Market Dynamics
Driver: Implementation of government regulations & initiatives to promote the adoption of HCIT solutions
In December 2021, CMS declared the publication of a Federal Register Notice to formalize its result to exercise enforcement discretion not to take action against certain payer-to-payer data exchange provisions of the May 2020 Interoperability and Patient Access final rule.In 2020, in Europe, EU Health Ministers signed a statement to collaborate and set up an eHealth common area that will permit for the free movement of electronic health records (EHR) across Europe. The statement also calls for eHealth to be an integral part of the Europe 2020 strategy. To push digital health forward, the UK government has pledged USD 347 million to enhance research and development (R&D) and produce novel therapies, devices, and diagnostics. The French government has proposed an investment plan (2022) of ~ USD 686 million, divided into five axes, to accelerate the national digital health strategy as part of the Health Innovation 2030 plan.Such initiatives/regulations are projected to further drive the demand and adoption of EHR, which will influence the adoption of clinical decision support systems (CDSS) in major markets worldwide.
Restraint: Data security concerns related to cloud-based CDSS
A major concern with cloud-based CDSS is that data that is hosted by the vendor is not as safe as its on-premise counterpart. Information related to patient is considered very restricted and a high privacy requirements to be maintained so that this data is available to authorized users only. Patient data through various countries is always under the scanner of legal frameworks, such as the data privacy requirements legislated through HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act). Similarly, the European Union has the EU Data Protection Regulation in place with implications for guarding sensitive health data.
Opportunity: The growth potential of emerging markets
Several factors, such as the implementation of government initiatives supporting the adoption of HCIT solutions, rising government healthcare expenditure, and the presence of skilled IT experts in emerging markets, are expected to support the market growth for CDSS. Emerging markets across the Asia Pacific, such as India and China, are expected to provide significant growth potential for CDSS companies and stakeholders. Technological advancements are playing a key role as authorities in China are focusing on reforming the country’s healthcare management sector, which is currently facing challenges such as chaotic patient data, underfunded rural health centers, overburdened city hospitals, and a nationwide shortage of doctors.
Challenge: Requirement of high investments for the implementation of CDSS infrastructure
Most healthcare providers have inadequate infrastructure (technology, data, and other resources) to deploy complex healthcare IT solutions. Therefore, to implement CDSS successfully, providers must make further investments in infrastructural development to support IT systems. Investments are required to increase data storage and process capabilities for IT infrastructure. Moreover, the maintenance and software update of these systems may sometimes cost more than the price of the software. Support and maintenance services, which include software upgrades according to changing user requirements, represent a recurring expenditure that may amount to almost 30% of the total cost of ownership.
